I get what you're saying, but just imagine if Rush Limbaugh had made any of the before-mentioned jokes. 

I'm negative because the jokes weren't funny - I realize the writers don't hold the views they're spouting out through the characters, but they're failing miserably at communicating any sort of irony when these scenes play out.

With a joke about how restaurants were so much quieter before desegretation, another Mort-the-Jew money joke, "Cripple Douchebag", OId Man Herbert on the prowl for boys, and using real footage of the Hindenberg to make a sex joke between a dog and a woman, the episode provided quite a few obstacles to likeability.

I like how Walter's line about Etta - “The pain is her legacy to you both. It’s proof that she was here.” - hints at the contrasting ways Olivia and Peter evaluate that proof.  Actually dealing with her death in the way Olivia did may prove harder than fighting a battle in her name with surgically enhanced powers,

I thought Massey's character was setting himself up to do the "Han Solo", where he, out of nowhere, protects the heroes from the outside.  The resolution that actually came about was more suprising, better, and moving.

I couldn't help but laugh out loud at the thumbs-up from the suicidal lemur after taking the bullet.

I thought that odd as well.  But as far as damaged video goes, I guess scratchy videotape makes for better theater than the pause-and-pixillated drama we would see on a DVD had that same message been delivered that way.

I like how devoted the show is to its B-plots.  I was thinking the Eric Lange character would just be a brief side venture.  Instead, his interaction with Olivia turns into one of the most important elements of how the episode turns out.  Impressive.

It was a nice touch not only showing his dismembered head, but then while the audience is processing that image, only then show him blinking.  Put that on the list of wholly disturbing images from this show.
